I'd be interested in some day old Dorking chicks if anyone knows of some!

Hi - I'm near Belleville, ON, Canada. do you sell dorkings? I'm looking for more for hens this year

FYI for anyone who comes across this thread... vet suggests it was a blood clot that passed!

Thanks folks for these ideas. I have a broody hen right now and eggs should hatch any day, if all goes well. She's on 12 eggs. It's winter in Ontario right now (today it's -10C) and my plan is to rig up a big dog crate inside the chicken coop for the chickies and the momma and let her out...

Hi - just seeing this now but yes I do. Apparently Red Pyle is not a look for Dorkings so a purist told me it must be a mix!

Ya I don't know what to make of it either. When I zoom in, I can almost see bubbles on it? I have no idea what this is. I did have one rooster recover from a near death experience due to worms, and so they've all been on worm medication in addition to Tylan (vet's instructions) and...

Hi all... I'm in Ontario, Canada (ie. it's fall here now), and found the strangest thing today in the chicken run. It's a glob that looks like a hybrid of a fat worm (but it's not a worm) in the shape of a stool... that looks like blood encased in blood. I found 2 of them in the yard and no...

I have a rooster with a dirty comb as well. It's not frostbite, it's caked on slop (mushy food). How do I get it off?

Interesting thread to come across (5yrs later?) as I have been looking into Cackellacs. I imagine they talk about it being predator proof as in, from hawks, but not from creatures that could get through the tarp, or underneath. If I get one the creatures would only be in there during the day and...

Just trying to find out what size the hardware cloth should be. How big is too big? The fencing around the chicken coop is 2x2. Is that ok?

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum so not sure if this is the right place to post this thread. In fact, I don't know where to post anything in general... Anyway I have 8 Dorkings (5 weeks old - I'm not even sure the types but I can post pics if someone's interested) and I'm afraid that maybe 5...

I went outside and got a handful of dirt with ants and worms in it, picked some oregano and kale, and finely chopped oregano, kale, some cauliflower, broccoli and carrots, and then give it all to the little babies. Mine are exactly 3 weeks old today. Hoping I fed them right I really don't...
